Packaging of food and other products plays
very significant in the process of choice of products these days. Today,
beautiful material and design are not enough to convince consumer to choose the
particular product. Both the material and design of packaging of the product,
and also the packaging technology need to be modern, i.e., environmentally
friendly. 

Packaging solution specialists from the
international company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.1188.lv/katalogs/iepakojums-2310/multivac-oy-filiale-latvija-507919">“Multivac
OY" Latvian Branch</a> explains what modern and environmentally friendly
packaging material, design and packaging machine technologies are. The ideas
offered by Multivac OY can be useful for every entrepreneur manufacturing and
trading in packaged products.

<h2>Packaging material </h2>

The current market requirements with regard
to sustainable and “green” packaging solution may be met by choosing one of the
following packaging materials: 


1. Paper fibre-based packaging materials

One of the most meaningful
approaches to the packaging concept is to select material, which is a part of
the processing cycles instead of invent something new. One of the most popular
examples is material made of paper fibres, which may be later recycled for
reusing. MULTIVAC PaperBoard has a wide offer of packagings, which are made of
paper fibre and suitable for standard packaging equipment – both thermoforming
equipment and machines, which pack the product in film.

kind of packaging – see video 

2. Packaging materials made of renewable raw materials 
Biopolymer materials are another alternative used
in the development of sustainable packaging materials. “Biopolymers” shall mean
materials of two kinds: polymers made of renewable raw materials, such as PLA
or PHA, or polymers, which may be manufactured fully or partially using
renewable resources, but which are not biodegadable, such as PET or PE.

Just the thermoplastic PLA
is the most practicable alternative for manufacture of thermoformed packagings,
especially for packaging fresh fruit and vegetables. 


3. Monomaterials 

Another approach for the
manufacturer of ecological packaging is to use just one material or so called
mono materials, which are simpler to recycle. Usually, materials made of PP
(polypropylene) or APET (amorphous polyethylene terephthalate or PET film)
are used.

<h2>Packaging design </h2>

Packaging design may be very significant,
since size and shape of packaging may significantly save material. Likewise,
use of thinner materials for wrapping up products reduce the quantity of
material used, therefore it is possible to reduce it by using thinned
thermoformed film. The product formation process itself also affects use of
material, for example, vacuum film packagings, folded packagings and other
solutions, which, along with the use of design possibilities, reduce quantity
of the used material.

<h2>Innovative packaging machine technologies </h2>

Quantity of packaging material may be
reduced also by using modern machinery. During the process of manufacture of
thermoformed packaging, cuttings of material are inevitable. However, the last
generation <a target="_blank" href="https://www.1188.lv/katalogs/iepakojums-2310/multivac-oy-filiale-latvija-507919">packaging
equipment</a> are constructed in such a way as to reduce quantity of such
cuttings, thus enabling both saving for the product manufacturer and reduction
in the quantity of recyclable or non-recyclable waste. Multivac OY is a
company, which offers not only ready packagings and packaging materials, but
also the last generation packaging equipment intended for products and
packaging of products meeting today's market requirements.
